Will the meltdown over Celtic’s title 56 ever end?

Ten full days after Celtic won the 25/26 SPFL Premiership title there are still no signs of the meltdown fading out.

It seems that a run of seven successive victories to clinch title 56 has struck at the rawest of nerves across Scottish society.

When Hugh Keevins, Tom English and George Foulkes are outraged you know that something wonderful has happened.

The Revolutions by Danny Rohl and Derek McInnes created heavy emotional buy in. But at the end of matchday 38 it was Martin O’Neill who outsmarted everyone else to deliver the title.

O’Neill if course is the bogey man of Scottish football.

CELTIC DESTROYED THE HOUSE OF MURRAY

His arrival at Celtic in 2000 led to a horrific chain of events that brought down the House of Murray

Dick Advocaat was the lauded Little General heading for the promised land bankrolled by the brilliance of Murray.

A 6-2 defeat from Celtic in August 2000 turned the tide. For 12 years the hoops had the edge in trophy wins. Murray surrendered, accepted £1 from a Motherwell based millionaire with Rangers liquidated a year later.

Rather than adapt to the new reality Keevins, English and their colleagues have totally flipped. The yearning for a new Old Firm has destroyed any capacity for rational thought.

The mounting Celtic trophy toll was way out of their comfort zone. Uncomfortably so.

The expectations loaded onto successive Ibrox managers has tipped them overboard. When they switched horse to Hearts it eventually broke Del Boy McInnes. Disgusting as some would call it.

Within a few minutes of Callum Osmand rolling the ball into the Hearts net BBC reporters in the media area were claiming that Hearts players were assaulted on the pitch.

They weren’t.

Hearts tried to continue that theme, Tony Bloom told TalkSPORT that one or two players were assaulted. They weren’t.

In tandem Hearts queried how the match had ended prematurely. McInnes was consulted and agreed with the decision.

Keith Jackson of the Daily Record got four days out of the missing minute, that campaign got so out of control that the reluctant SFA were forced to present the truth.

NO ASSAULTS, NO MISSING MINUTES- ONTO ITEM C

With that bandwagon ended the SFA then provided a lifeboat for the distressed with the release of the KMI covering Motherwell v Celtic.

And suddenly we were back in Sam Nicholson territory.

Wee Davie Martindale even got involved.

If he had shown the same interest in a VAR error by John Beaton at Ibrox Livingston might not have been relegated.

Excitement over Lawrence Shankland moving to Ibrox has resulted in a slight drop in the levels of hysteria.

With legacy media having only a shrinking demographic to appeal to the meltdown should run for a few more weeks.

Their pain and anger is an unexpected bonus to Celtic fans, making title 56 one of the sweetest ever.
